Year 12 kayak trip

Emma Peek —

In March 2019, the year 12 Outdoor Education class went down to Murupara for three days to kayak the Aniwhenua River.

The class camped for two nights at the Aniwhenua Campsite which was a lovely, quiet place right on the lakefront. The students had a lot of fun preparing and cooking their own meals together - some cooking noodles, others making spaghetti bolognese! The 21 students did three runs down the river with 4 experienced Waimarino instructors - it was great to see the students stepping out of their comfort zones and experiencing a unique challenge. The trip was a successful, positive time - each student learning something new and coming away with a story to tell when they got home.
